Af vows to crush Islamic State havens after attack

Tuesday, 20 August 2019 | AP | Kabul

Afghanistan’s President is vowing to eliminate all safe havens of the hardline Wahhabi ISIS group as the country marks a subdued 100th Independence Day after a horrific Shia wedding attack claimed by the local ISIS affiliate.

President Ashraf Ghani’s comments Monday come as Afghanistan mourns at least 63 people killed in the Kabul bombing.

Many outraged Afghans ask whether an approaching deal between the United States and the Taliban to end nearly 18 years of fighting will bring peace to long-suffering civilians.

A sharply worded Taliban statement questions why the US failed to identify the attackers in advance.
